Welcome from the Commodore"Thanks for visiting our virtual clubhouse! You've probably gathered, we're a club for LGBT+ people and their friends and family. The Club means a lot to me and I'm extremely proud to have taken the helm in 2019, having been a member for just over fifteen years. It was originally set up in the early 80's by a chap who wanted to be able to sail without the pretence of hiding his true self from his crewmates. He and group of likeminded sailors met covertly, not knowing they were founding an inclusive sailing community that would continue to thrive over the next forty years! That's why it means so much to me; I love to see a group of friends from a cross-section of the LGBT+ community, bonding through their shared love of messing about in boats! If you're considering joining, please explore the site and social media posts and, if you like what you read, I hope to see you out on the water soon to help us celebrate our Ruby Jubliee!"

INCLUSIVE SAILING CLUB
We have around 450 members in the UK and beyond, with over 120 members owning boats of all shapes and sizes. All our members share a common interest in yachting (sail and power), whether it is to skipper their own boat, crew for others or get together to charter, either at home or overseas. Experience ranges from ocean going yacht skippers to the complete novice, and from sprightly youngsters to those of more mature years. We have a thriving women’s section with a growing number of female boat owners. |
